For this third album on Buda Musique, the remarkable singer and Syrian oud player Waed Bouhassoun is joined by the Turkish flautist Kudsi Erguner, the Syrian flautist Moslem Rahal, and Kurdish singer and saz player Rusan Filizek. Waed, who has already attracted the attention of Jordi Savall, sings of courtly love in Arabic, Turkish or Bedouin in the tradition of Oum Kalthoum and Asmahan, and has expertly put to music a poem by Cl?ment Marot (1496-1544) whose elegance and humanism are in harmony with the tone of her repertoire. Waed leads us on paths, sometimes unknown, that we can take delight in discovering.
